PHP add single quotes to comma separated list

Question

When I implode my array I get a list that looks like this:

qwerty, QTPQ, FRQO

I need to add single quotes so it looks like:

\'         


        

Answer 1

Here is another way:

$arr = ['qwerty', 'QTPQ', 'FRQO'];

$str = implode(', ', array_map(function($val){return sprintf("'%s'", $val);}, $arr));

echo $str; //'qwerty', 'QTPQ', 'FRQO'

sprintf() is a clean way of wrapping the single quotes around each item in the array

array_map() executes this for each array item and returns the updated array

implode() then turns the updated array with into a string using a comma as glue
